RIHILA #13

---

1. Hind Ahmas had a head-to-toe veil which allowed the cloth to cover entire body, but had a slit for the eyes called the nigab.

2. Ahmas can not where her veil because they banned it in France. France believes that it prevents Muslims from participating in French society. Ahmas feels that since she has worn the veil by choice the law is preventing her from expressing herself.

3. Defenders of the law believe wearing a veil prevents women from participating in French society and it could also enable a crime.

4. I believe it is a individuals decision because the government does not know what is going in every person's mind. In order for them to decide what constitutes the female oppression, they need to see from their perpesctive.
